Testimonials
“This Simcha was a showcase of all that I love about Bloomington: A large swath of intelligent, literate people from different walks of life and with disparate backgrounds including politicians, professors, writers, musicians, artists, cultural enthusiasts and more —have come together to celebrate one of their own. Congratulations to Audrey Heller and the Jewish Theater of Bloomington!”
Rachel Hertz
I don't know what went on behind the scene, but from my vantage point, it was a beautiful and well run event with gorgeous music by Svetla, Krista, and Carrie and a sumptuous and handsomely presented spread. Thank you, Linda Whikehart for shepherding the committee and to everyone who helped bring this Spring fundraiser to life.
Audrey Heller, former JTB Producing Artistic Director
“The Jewish Theatre has consistently produced the most thoughtful, thought-provoking plays I’ve seen in my years in Bloomington.”
​Malcolm Abrams, editor and publisher, Bloom Magazine
“I've seen practically every production of the Jewish Theatre since it started more than 15 years ago. Every single one has been outstanding. The plays have been uniformly intriguing and the casting has been spot-on. Audrey Heller is a community treasure.”
​Judy Schroeder, Retired VP of Communications, IU Alumni Association
“The JTB, over the years, has consistently produced a series of significant plays that explore in depth and from various angles Jewish culture and the challenges to what it means to be Jewish in various contexts. As such, the plays resonate with universal diasporic themes of belonging, marginalization, and individual and collective transformation. To its credit, the JTB has recruited teams of talented artistic and technical staff and actors from diverse backgrounds. The JTB has been a major player in making Bloomington the exciting theater scene that it has been in recent decades.”
Bob Arnove, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus, IU

"Audrey Heller - an artistic phenomenon, a theatrical virtuoso. This amazing woman has given Bloomington years of excellent, thought-provoking theatre. Jewish Theatre of Bloomington has a distinctive point of view and has made unique contributions to the Bloomington community. We must continue the legacy by providing for JTB's future by contributing to the Audrey Heller Fund."

"Contributing to JTB honors Audrey Heller, supports good theatre in our town and takes advantage of a matching opportunity. This seems like winning a trifecta to me!"
Michael Gleeson
"It is an honor to donate to the Audrey Heller Fund to ensure the continuation of this extraordinary theatre. Whether I'm acting on the stage or sitting in the audience, JTB has provided thought provoking theatre, high quality productions and a strong sense of community. I am looking forward to more penetrating and entertaining theatre from JTB in the years to come."
